No offense, and I don't mean to sound callous, but no amount of worrying about the victims will change anything. I can worry about them all day, but it won't have any affect. Don't misunderstand, I have great sympathy for the victims, however, should not our actual resources and efforts be more directed toward things we can potentially change? 0 Share this post Link to post

NiTROACTiVE Posted April 16, 2013 I recently heard of this and it's a tragic situation. I feel sorry for those who were killed as well as the ones that got injured. I don't know who could have done this, but I'm sure they'll figure it out with enough evidence. The person who done this shall be brought to justice. 0 Share this post Link to post

And a week from now, someone will have dredged the live reports for fragmented and unreliable information from the moments after, and assembled a Frankenstein conspiracy theory from it. For example, they supposedly have a Saudi man in custody. Someone will be asking, needlessly, why this person was later released. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted April 16, 2013 I've heard some rumors that it was a Saudi extremest. I'm looking forward to ten years in Iran. 0 Share this post Link to post

You give them too much credit, a week? Alex jones was hot on the false flag crazy train like 5 minutes after the bombing happened. 0 Share this post Link to post
neubejiita Posted April 16, 2013 http://vine.co/v/bFdt5uwg6JZ Here is a good video of the explosion, maybe this was a backpack bomb? Someome could have smuggled this in and detonated it with a button under their clothes. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted April 16, 2013 In places like Pakistan, a supposedly stable ally of the USA, people have accepted terrorist bombings with a dose of fatalism as a tragic but unavoidable everyday fact, much like car accidents. 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't know that they have any missiles to threaten with. How about we goad them into picking a fight with Israel? 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted April 16, 2013 Aliotroph? said:Saudi Arabia doesn't threaten to shoot missiles at everybody. Right, they prefer subtler, greyer and harder-to-prove approaches, like funding and training terrorists (of course, NOT on their territory). Therefore, as we say in Greece, "try shaving the egg". 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted April 16, 2013 Maes said:as we say in Greece, "try shaving the egg" Eastern Europe has the most bizarre expressions. Somewhat more OT, security measures are being undertaken for the London marathon on Sunday. Frankly, I expected the whole thing to be called off. 0 Share this post Link to post

Like you can't define a word using the word. Dija know the NRA 500 (nascar event) had a shooting? Man shot himself. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted April 16, 2013 geo said:Solving gun violence with guns isn't a solution. Absolutely correct. That's why governments use mainly missiles and bombs to solve episodes of gun violence. Also 30mm DU explosive rounds and artillery shells don't qualify as "guns". 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted April 16, 2013 You know there has never been a shooting on board a US plane (civilian planes in the last decade or 2). Why? No guns. Alex Jones says UK has so much violence... but its not gun violence and people survive, plus all those soccer riots count as 300+ bouts of violence. I haven't been paying attention to the news since I'm traveling right now, so I'm ignorant. But I did hear something about 2 bombs going off and a 3rd was found. I wonder if its a terrorist cell or just 1 fucked up white guy that hates something. 0 Share this post Link to post
